<p>These come from Ray Comfort (banana man) and his christian creationist group called Way of the Master and printed by it publishing group Living waters. If you'er not familiar with Ray and his boy wonder Kirk Crocoduck Cameron they are anti-evolution, anti-science, anti-anything that doesn't go along with their biblical bullshit. </p>

<p>I usually just say 'no' and don't engage people handing them out, for the sake of peacekeeping. However, there was one time when a senior was handing out free Jesus CDs at a busy intersection (Torontonians: Beware of the Jane &amp; Wilson intersection, lots of loonies around there!).</p>
<p>I declined politely, but he followed me and insisted, so I said 'No, thank you' once more. He said 'You should take one now that I'm giving these away for free; I'll be selling them for $5 soon!' I asked…</p>

<p>I declined politely, but he followed me and insisted, so I said 'No, thank you' once more. He said 'You should take one now that I'm giving these away for free; I'll be selling them for $5 soon!' I asked him what made him think that I would want to pay for his CDs later when I didn't want them for free now. He look baffled and asked me why I didn't want them at all. I said I'm not interested in religion. He replied, 'Oh, it's not about religion, it's about Jesus'. I told him it's one and the same thing. He squinted, move in creepily closer and whispered: 'Are you a Muslim?' I laughed out loud and told him I was an 'equal-opportunity nonsense defier'.</p>
<p>I'll never forget his reply: 'I'll tell my Mum you don't believe in Jesus!' (In a childish voice and waiving his finger at me!!) I told him that for all I cared, he could also tell her--if she was indeed still alive--that I don't believe in Zeus, Thor, the Tooth Fairy or Santa Claus either. Luckily, the pedestrian light turned green and I was able to finally walk away.</p> Great poster!

<p>Wow, that would shut 'em up. But there's a better way. Show them you know about their Holy Book than they do. I love to tell proselytizing J.W.'s and L.D.S.'s about the actual sin of Sodom being xenophobia and Lot's impregnation of his own daughters, pointing out, even if the Sodomites were homos, why does God put down gays but praise fathers who screw their daughters? They go away. Quick.</p>

<p>The fact that they have to utilize these gimmicks at all suggests they are on their last gasp. We have one mega-church wannabe here who puts out large-size postcards sent to "Current Occupant" at your address. When one came with a sexually suggestive message, I got an injunction against them at the post office, complaining that the cards were "obscene." I mean, can you imagine, ME? Calling something "obscene"?!!!</p>

Would depend on how feisty I was feeling, whether I had the time to spare, things of that nature.</p>

<p>Were this manner of thing common, I might carry THIS around to lay on 'em in return:<br/><br/><a target="_self" href="http://api.ning.com:80/files/HhuXMaZYdp848kE8aYQxTSSG-H9msEs7An4YH9od1aVp6CL-4cGwt7XhpQwmwHqQHAiIw7GV0K95c4GEhPiOBqyggkXnm5lK/DontRespectReligion.jpg"><img class="align-full" src="http://api.ning.com:80/files/HhuXMaZYdp848kE8aYQxTSSG-H9msEs7An4YH9od1aVp6CL-4cGwt7XhpQwmwHqQHAiIw7GV0K95c4GEhPiOBqyggkXnm5lK/DontRespectReligion.jpg" width="610"/></a>and I wonder: if people, ordinary people got in these idiots' faces more often, maybe they'd get the message. I mean, let's be real: they do it BECAUSE they get away with it.</p>
